Isi artikel

This article presents arguments against Chomsky's (1982) quadripartite typology of empty categories. First, I shall argue that neither PRO nor pro can occur in Chinese. Then, I shall show that the empty topic hypothesis (James Huang 1984, Cole 1987, Cole et al.1990) seems to be implausible. Next, I shall demonstrate that neither the variable, nor the pro, analysis of object empty categories may be tenable, since object zero anaphors in Chinese appear to form a syntactically undifferentiated class. All this seems to indicate that zero anaphors in Chinese, being realized by syntactically undifferentiated gaps rather than by specific ampty syntactic categories, are not grammatically but pragmatically determined.
